Will be down there for part of the day and I hope if you have some time you'll consider volunteering or donating to the effort.

Project Homeless Connect

Project Homeless Connect is a one-day event where nonprofit social services providers, government agencies, medical providers, and businesses come together to offer an array of services to Nashville's homeless population as well as individuals and families on the brink of homelessness. It is a true collaboration of the community and will take place this year on MARCH 28, 2012, at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds. A kick-off to the event for volunteers will start at 8 a.m. with the doors opening for services at 9 a.m. The event will run until 3 p.m. We need 500-700 volunteers to make the fourth Project Homeless Connect Nashville a success by ensuring we deliver services efficiently to our guests. Help us spread the word and recruit a group of friends from your work, from your neighborhood, and from your congregation. Please, sign up through Hands on Nashville to volunteer. Last year, we served about 1,500 individuals including families with children. With the help of our volunteers and more than 70 service providers, we were able to deliver over 10,000 services to our guests. Our volunteers guide guests through the event. Each guest will go through registration where they will choose the services they are seeking. Volunteers will be trained, so they know how to read the registration papers and where to find the requested services. Volunteer training information will be sent out closer to the event. We will encourage each volunteer to participate in one of the onsite training sessions. This year's event is hosted by the Metropolitan Homelessness Commission in partnership with The Key Alliance.

Thank you so much for AkzoNobel, which is one of our main sponsors again this year! AkzoNobel also allowed its employees to put a volunteer team together. Thank you for your community spirit! If you signed up to volunteer, please download our VOLUNTEER PACKET here. If you are a service provider, please invite your clients who struggle with homelessness to the event. As soon as we have our pick-up bus route ready, we will post the information in PDF format here, so you can print it out for them. If you know of individuals or families struggling with homelessness, please print out this flyer and invite them to attend Project Homeless Connect on March 28 at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds.
